Memories & Candles

My deepest condolences to all your family. Your son was loved so much. Your remembrance of his love will get you through. He will always be with you. Imagine your reunion one day with your little darling St. Tony. Peace to all of you. I will keep you all in my prayers. I just watched your piece on the news tonight (5), August 23, and he sure was a gift. I thought I'd write to express my condolences. Mary Tomaszewski, McHenry

Dear Borcia Family:
I am so deeply saddened for your loss of your precious angel. We didn't know Tony, but as I put my 10-year-old son on the bus this morning for his first day at Butterfield School, my heart dropped and I wept for you. I feel called by God to send blessings and love to you through prayer. May God's unchanging hand hold you and guide you through this unimaginable time. Give your grief to God. You will see Tony's radiant smile again on a glorious day. God bless you.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beautiful son Anthony. Last year in July I too, lost my beautiful 10 year old daughter Daniella in a very similiar boating accident. My family will be praying for you and if there in anything that you should need....even someone to talk to....you have my e-mail.

We were all so devastated and saddened to hear about Tony's unfortunate passing. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Please know that you are loved, and if you ever need anything at all, please just let us know anytime.

We have made a donation to "The Sterny Way Foundation" in memory of Tony.

We were out of town on vacation and were not able to attend the services.

Dear Borcia and Morrison families,
As I looked at the wonderful pictures you captured of Tony, the love joy and compassion he shared is so evident! May all of you think of him as your shining light that will continue his quest to make a beautiful and long lasting memory in everyone's heart !

Don, Margaret Borcia and family, and the Borcia and Morrison Families,
My condolences to the entire family. Your Holy Cross friends are praying for Tony and your family. May God give you faith and the strength to face each day.
